Ask your insurance company and they will tell you that damage to the front of your car = your fault. Damage to the rear of your car = not your fault.
The first half, pretty much yes. The 2nd half not even close.
One time I was travelling straight through an intersection on a green light; and struck a vehicle performing a turning turn. He evidently didn't see me coming and pulled out right in front of me. I hit him in the passenger side door with the front of my car.
The 2nd attempted an illegal U-turn in an intersection. Again, I was just sailing straight through on a green light, and hit him in the passenger side door too.
I was also once stopped at an intersection, with a green light, waiting to make a left turn due to oncoming traffic. I was rear ended and pushed into oncoming traffic where I then proceeded to have a head on collision with that oncoming traffic. (Fortunately they were able to hit their brakes and slowed enough that injuries were minor.) I was found 100% not at fault.
Fault is a lot more complicated than "front = your fault"
